University of Virginia (UVA) (2023-2024)

[karmic ice]

Nope

wait so if I didn’t get into honors college in my letter then no merit aid?

[wet sphinx]

the honors college comes out later dw

[umbral rivet]

did u have to apply for the honors college or is it automatic

[wet sphinx]

automatic

its either rodman scholars or echols scholars

depending on school of art & sciences or seas

[final iron]

when does it come out

[wet sphinx]

my friend who is a current sohpmore said his came out mid february

but also said its kinda rolling and n ot all at once

[velvet minnow]

I wish that UVA Acceptance letters were more

personalized

I just wanted mine to say School of Engineering so I didn't have to tell ppl when they ask me "what school?"

[umbral rivet]

no confetti either, only portal looks nice

[velvet minnow]

the confetti really got me

I was like ain't no way

[serene lagoon]

3.8 1450 chanxes??

[velvet minnow]

thats not all that goes into it

3.8 1450 but "found a cure for pancreatic cancer"

versus 3.8 1450 "no ECs" are very different

or 3.8 1450 great essays versus 3.8 1450 terrible essays

[karmic ice]

when do we expect honors college to come out

[velvet minnow]

didn't even know there was an honors college

[velvet minnow]

? is there

[tired cedar]

honors college?

[karmic ice]

ig so it comes out later sumone said

Someone

[velvet minnow]

i mean

did you apply to honors college?

bc I didnt' lol

All applicants to the College of Arts & Sciences' first-year class are automatically reviewed for selection to the Echols Scholars Program.

[winter saffron]

How do u see this on naviance

[velvet minnow]

Oh nvm ur right @karmic ice Echols Scholars for Arts & Sciences and Rodman Scholars for SEAS (School of engineering and applied sciences) they are also automatically reviewed for incoming

[trim notch]

can you dm to me too?

i got in for cs if anybody else did too

[wet sphinx]

in a few weeks

from w hat Ive been told by current uva students its rolling

not all come out at once

[frank flume]

There’s no honors college here

Congrats to everyone who got in!!! 🎊🥳🎉

[velvet minnow]

Yuh there is just Echols Scholars Program (Arts & sciences) and Rodman Scholars Program (Engineering)

[umbral rivet]

under admissions after searching uni

[frank flume]

It’s very nice as you get priority enrollment but most Echols scholars have cracked resumes

[frank flume]

Yeah true

[stark canyon]

How do you apply to Rodman scholars

Can I add to my application for it

[white viper]

Broooo why is uva so expensive

There’s 0 chance I’m committing here

[shell sonnet]

[junior linden]

[shell sonnet]

[velvet minnow]

[shell sonnet]

is rodman released with decision?

[turbid garnet]

if mcintire is switching to the application being at the end of freshman year, what does that mean for uva-wise transfer people?

cuz they wont get the chance to be on campus for a year before applying

[tired forge]

another womp womp moment

dude how are the 2 schools i bought merch at on my visit the only ones whove rejected me

congrats to everyone who got in though if you want a crewneck and live in northeast ohio ill be donating it to the goodwill in shaker square

[junior linden]

I got rejected as well

[tired forge]

happens

im having a good day im not gonna let this ruin it

ive already gotten into some amazing schools the rest is just bonus imo

that is a cope though not even i can argue otherwise

[stoic comet]

[dark turtle]

(no idea)

[sudden canopy]

[hard ridge]

ye its entirely dependent on where ur at on the list tbh

sltho u hv like no time to answer

i had 3 days after i got my aid package to decide or it was voided but tbh as long as they matched the school i was supposed to go to or came close i was going lmao

[vale halo]

i kinda like fully bought into the idea of wisconsin madison

made hella connections in the cs discord

was getting involved withan AI research project with a prof

then i like just didnt go...

[vale halo]

danggggg

[hard ridge]

i mean its whatever

its ur life

[vale halo]

yeah true and college is a business ultimately so

doesnt rlly matter buuuuuut still

[hard ridge]

and i had valid reasons that werent just uva t25 haha

[vale halo]

real

i just hope i get into some of my RD schools

[hard ridge]

money was the same but im in state which distance can not be understated lol

also uw mad is ig slightly better for cs but uva has a good program so wasnt tripping\

[candid cloud]

if you apply for waitlist and get off it can you deny the offer ?

[hard ridge]

[candid cloud]

tyty

[umbral rivet]

wadafuq

[umbral rivet]

me here trying to escape socal 😭

[summer crow]

how's pure math at uva

[shell sonnet]

why no confetti :\

[velvet minnow]

Fr lmao

[umbral rivet]

cuz they just like that

[sudden canopy]

fax

i got jumpscared

[bold zodiac]

Anyone applying for tjis transfer cycle?

Ik one person in this server and a bunch in the uva transfer server but just wanted to see if there was anyone else herr

[shell sonnet]

same

lmao

[turbid garnet]

you mean uva wise?

[hot latch]

i think they mean like if there's any current college students applying to trasfer into uva (main)

and to answer ur question, no i havent seen any transfer hopefuls here so far but gl!!

[bold zodiac]

Nah to main

[bold zodiac]

Yep i thought so but thanks

[summer crow]

yo man why is this school's tuition so massive

💀

actually why do state schools' tuitions vary so much

real question

yo im not tryna be a dick man but this is the third time you've said this in under 36 hours

[umbral rivet]

is bro talking to himself 😭

[summer crow]

no

[umbral rivet]

you've asked the question twice in less than an hour

[vocal rose]

i got yield protected 🔥

[vocal rose]

i just looked it up

and uh

86 THOUSAND

THAT'S ACTUALLY FUCKIN MAD

THAT'S LIKE NYU AND USC LEVELS OF CRAZY

oh hell nah 2nd and 3rd year is 91k

💀

[timid swallow]

uva does not yield protect

[bold zodiac]

Tier 1 cope 💀

[bold zodiac]

?

[vocal rose]

it's a joke lol

ofc i know i wasn't yield protected

i'm glad i got rejected either way i was just gonna take up somebody else's seat

since i had no intention of attending ( unless one of my friends got accepted, which is why i didn't withdraw)

[broken flicker]

Did you try looking up on UVA’s net price calculator?

Well it’s currently not available, but it's more accurate.

[last plinth]

Wdym 86k ?

The average is 40

The fuck did you get 86 from

[umbral rivet]

before aid and scholarships oos

including housing its like 80+ lmao

[shell sonnet]

Yeah idk why uva so expensive

I dont see the point in choosing uva over a school like gatech for cs when its almost double the cost and significantly lower rank

[bold zodiac]

10 billy endowement doesn’t pay for itself 💀

[bold zodiac]

Even IS is insane

Idc though in set up to have a free bachelors+doctorate if i play ny cards right

[last plinth]

I don’t get why people would go OOS

That’s just stupid

Unless they pay ur tuition why even go

Just go to a state school

[finite bobcat]

My state school is doodoo

And if ur state school is something like North Dakota state university, I think it’s valid to go oos

[uneven carbon]

whats ur state school

[umbral rivet]

dont like my state, only state schools I applied to is like cal poly slo and cal poly pomona

[shell sonnet]

u didn't apply to ucs?

[umbral rivet]

yea I did, but its sd, la, and cal

and I cant just go to them 😭

[bold zodiac]

Real why 💀

[last plinth]

Ur telling me ur in fucking california and u dont like ur state schools

gtfo

lol

If ur from cali and ur going to UVA ur stupid asf unless u got a full ride.

(Not calling u stupid, I'm just saying in general)

[last plinth]

Any UC would be smarter than UVA

[bold zodiac]

literally 💀

uva has fire like business but compared to IS ucs 💀

[last plinth]

The issue is the price

Why pay $80k/y when u can pay $30k/y

[umbral rivet]

lmfao Im just answering ur question about oos

most oos about same price anyways

[bold zodiac]

Yeah

[dark path]

what's the proportion of people who get waitlisted as opposed to rejected for UVA EA

[devout flicker]

https://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/ this might help but they dont say how many waitlisted

let me look at last yr

[dark path]

got it, thank you!

[devout flicker]

yepp

[dark path]

i got waitlisted but i'm curious whether they waitlist almost everyone or if it's a majority rejection type of situation

[devout flicker]

problem is they just started waitlisting instead of deferring

[devout flicker]

i think they waitlist ppl they want to go there but it's always up in the air abt how many they can let in from the waitlist

[dark path]

makes sense

[hot latch]

i have heard a lot of people who got waitlisted, if that's helpful. more waitlist than accepted

im in state so i know a lot of people who applied

[dark path]

gotcha, thank you!

i'm from OOS so i'm not too rattled by the waitlist decision

[hot latch]

ofc!! gl bestie i believe in u

wait omg thats great!!

[dark path]

i'm just like relieved it wasn't an outright rejection bc i have a 3.8 UW (rough junior year) but really good ECs and good essays so this decision's giving me some hope LOL

[hot latch]

A 3.8 UW IS GOOD???? that's like what, a couple a-'s or b+s but everything else all a's

aww yes thats great

gll!!

[dark path]

and gl to you too!

[hot latch]

thx!!

[last plinth]

I don’t think it’s a ton

I think it’s about 10-12%

Keep in mind they do 2/3 in state

And about 50-60% of those in state are offered to go to uva their sophomore year or college

So like

They can’t just waitlist 40% of in state kids cause then next year they will be going to UVA as transfers

[hot latch]

rlly? i havent heard of this happening! neat

[last plinth]

Yeah

[hot latch]

waitlist is different from transfer option tho

[last plinth]

In state kids are offered the option to go to “UVA Wise” and then transfer to UVA

[last plinth]

Not for in state

[hot latch]

ohhh

but thats different than waitlist

[last plinth]

No

If you are on their waitlist as an instate that’s what you can do

Or they’ll accept u in may

[hot latch]

but you're still on the waitlist for main

right right

[devout flicker]

Oh ya i looked into that, the weird thing is they only offer that option to coas

[hot latch]

ok makes sense!! thx!

[last plinth]

Yes

[devout flicker]

so as a coe kid i dont think i can do it

[last plinth]

Yep

I’m engineering

I could switch but

[devout flicker]

😭

rough times

[last plinth]

That’s a last resort

Lol

[devout flicker]

yeah true

[last plinth]

But I’ve got one college under my belt atleast

Technically

Not the way I wanted it

But

🤷‍♂️

[devout flicker]

Ya true..

[last plinth]

You in state?

If so you technically do too wahoo

😂

🙏 CMU tho

[devout flicker]

Yeah im instate lol

[devout flicker]

True but idk if i wanna go to wise first year

[last plinth]

I still got the chance for CMU in March so we shall see

[last plinth]

Yeah fr

[devout flicker]

Oo gl

[last plinth]

Middle of fuckin no where

My LOCI to them was good so hoping that helped a good bit

[devout flicker]

Yeah and i feel like id have to start all over again next yr at uva

[last plinth]

And my gpa is up by .5 points so

[devout flicker]

social wise

[devout flicker]

SLAY

[last plinth]

That’s my thought

You make friends a

And lose them

[devout flicker]

yepp

[last plinth]

Very shitty situation

A transfer too

I feel it’d be hard to make friends

[devout flicker]

Yeahh

[umbral rivet]

how does uva wise work

[last plinth]

Are u in state

[umbral rivet]

no

[last plinth]

If ur instate u go for a year and if u have a 3.0 u can transfer

To UVA

[umbral rivet]

is it guaranteed

[devout flicker]

yes i think so?

guaranteed only if u have a 3.0+ gpa it sounds like

and its only for coas students

[umbral rivet]

interesting program

[last plinth]

Yeah

[vale halo]

hmmm idk if id do wise

i checked off yes for it just to seem more determined to go to uva but

i think if i dont get off the wl id go to tech for a year and if i dont love it then try to transfer to uva

[turbid garnet]

go for 1 year if you are instate, arts & sciences, waitlist, transfer with a 3.0 for your last 3 years

ive been considering it

[last plinth]

Yeah

I've got a couple reaches but prolly just end up at VT lol

[last plinth]

if ur CS I'd go to UIUC

lowkey

[turbid garnet]

nah, im gies

hence the 'for now'

cuz ill also save a hell lot of money if i go wise, and mcintire (if i get in) is better than gies

[wet sphinx]

anybody know how to sign up for admitted students day/events

[shell sonnet]

TECH HONORS COLLEGE 🤭😎

[last plinth]

They have an honors college? 😂

Tf do I apply there

[vale halo]

omg i think i fotgot to apply

or do they just put you in it

[finite bobcat]

all accepted decision letters need to start with congratulations 😭

my heart would’ve sank if I started reading that

[shell sonnet]

i completely agree.

but i already got one for admission, i didn't even remember applying for honors college 😭

[shell sonnet]

you have to apply

[vale halo]

aww dang oops

[shell sonnet]

im going to richmond unless i get off the waitlist tho lol

[vale halo]

hoping we both get off

preferably before may 1st but idk if that's realistic or possible...

[shell sonnet]

beginning that shit with "after careful review" is just evil

[summer crow]

dude so many schools r just fucking trolling

uchicago's deferral looked like a rejection

like straight up if you removed one word from it it would be a rejection

💀

[bold zodiac]

Yeah

3.0 is pretty easy though to maintain ngl

And like

Its wise virginia

Theres nothing to do there 💀

So you can just grind

[lusty stream]

who thinks lana winning album of the year

[vale halo]

if she doesnt then talent loses

[lusty stream]

[vale halo]

[vale halo]

thank you miami! goos night

[hot latch]

guys omg just be kind its not that hard 😭 😭

[shell sonnet]

Guys

This is random but

Are there bugs in dorms

Like roaches

[winter saffron]

Yes

[last plinth]

Yes I even found a opossum in my dorm before

[shell sonnet]

Bro

I aint surviving

[devout flicker]

Dw ur gonna find bugs in any college dorm just gotta kill them

[shell sonnet]

nah id lose to roach

it can have my dor

m

[vale halo]

if i saw a big spider i would move out

[uneven carbon]

Bro if I see literally any insect I’m moving out

Except ants maybe

[hot latch]

girl if i saw u id move out

[devout flicker]

bro god damn 😭

[broken flicker]

if there was a bug in my dorm, I'd use a vaccum and just suck it into the vaccum.

[hard ridge]

generally no but my roommate and I did have a stinkbug problem at some point cuz our window was apparantly not closing all the way and had some screws lose or sumn

[vale halo]

well u look like a big spilder camicami

[undone ruin]

Apparently VT EA was lower than UVA EA. 13%.

Also, what pros do you get with VT Honors?

[umbral rivet]

where do you see its lower?

[last plinth]

Tf 💀

That’s bullshit

Their acceptance is 60% tell me how it went to 13% 💀

[umbral rivet]

its not 60%

[last plinth]

Tf?

[umbral rivet]

oh maybe it is lower

https://news.vt.edu/articles/2024/02/em-cm-admissions-2024.html

[last plinth]

Oh

Well I’ve got them as my safety

Guess that was a bit of a mistake

Lol

[undone ruin]

one of my friends got waitlisted and his letter said some 52,000 applied EA but there were only 7,000 offers. Do the math and its roughly 13%...

[last plinth]

What the hell?

Why is it so low lol

[undone ruin]

test optional + removal of ED = more ppl apply EA

[last plinth]

Ig less qualified ppl apply

[undone ruin]

don't say that...

[last plinth]

I mean if the acceptance went down by that much that’s the truth 😂

[umbral rivet]

if its 7000 then its not lower than uva

but it is close

[last plinth]

52k EA is fucking insane tho

[haughty pumice]

hi

[umbral rivet]

hi

[haughty pumice]

i was wondering why my friend didnt get in ea

shes japanese but has lived her whole life in kuwait

3.8 gpa

fluent in arabic japanese and english

and regularly performs for refugees

this is her third rejection and we were wondering if she should apply to back up schools in japan

[umbral rivet]

for uva?

[haughty pumice]

or stay hopwful for rds

yeah for uva, gatech, princeton and smth else

i forget

[umbral rivet]

did she apply utokyo

[haughty pumice]

not yet

shes quite special

i mean japanese and kuwait??

[umbral rivet]

I'd say rd chances are much lower than ea for most

[haughty pumice]

and she was born in iraq and lived there until she was 3

[umbral rivet]

but she should have some backups

[haughty pumice]

shes also test otpinal

and we're honestly so worried

for the both of us LOL but i didnt apply to uva

[umbral rivet]

it's like the same reason why ppl with 4.8 gpa, raised 50k for cancer, etc. didn't get into uva or other top schools

its all based on the AOs

[haughty pumice]

do you think that people from the middle east are cooked this year

[umbral rivet]

some AO may see you as reject while other want to accept

[haughty pumice]

as in we aren't really in favour

it alr doesnt help we're asian fr

[umbral rivet]

idk many ppl from middle so cant say

[last plinth]

My friend has a 1550 and didn’t get in

And he’s got amazing ECS

4.5+ gpa

But didn’t get in

[haughty pumice]

but the middle east combo also doesnt play well cuz the whole world doesnt like us since they think we're anti semtic (not true!!!)

[haughty pumice]

man idk what it takes to get in anymore

[last plinth]

It’s ur personality and how well they see you fitting into their community

[umbral rivet]

she cooked like I was cooked for UT Austin CS from california

they dont like californians according to majority of online articles and reddits

💀

[haughty pumice]

oh facts she got rejected there 2

irk

i thought

japanese+kuwait+iraw

qwas unique

cuz deadass who is from there

besides my arab homies

[umbral rivet]

everyone is unique in their own way

how was her essays

[haughty pumice]

but like we as east asians dont go unless for special rasosn

her essays were good

i didnt read all of it but it was about how she never felt either kuwait/iraqi/or japanese

[umbral rivet]

intl acceptance rate is just brutal this year, even more oos

[haughty pumice]

idekkkk

inshallah someone sees the value in us LOL

[umbral rivet]

and what prompt was this for

[haughty pumice]

dont recall

i just feel bad cuz she didnt even get into umich flint

but to be fair, rn my options arent so pretty either

i think we both feel a little crushed, esp her, since uva was her second top choice after princeton

so to not get in was so disheartening

[umbral rivet]

she can try appealing

[haughty pumice]

maybe ill tell her to do that, thanks!

[umbral rivet]

yeah ofc, best of luck to both of you

[finite snow]

does anyone know how to see the financial aid offer, if it’s been released yet? is it somewhere on the portal, or is it on a different website?

[broken flicker]

if im correct, i think its on a different uva portal

[finite snow]

that’s so extra omg

ok thanks

[broken flicker]

yeah i really hate when its like that

and on the uva financial aid portal, i didnt even see any indication they received my css profile, so i had to email their financial aid office

thankfully they did

but in all seriousness, all colleges should have a financial aid checklist on the same portal as the applicant checklist

[finite snow]

fr

is it uva SIS? sorry to keep pestering but idek where it is

[broken flicker]

yeah i think so

[finite snow]

ok perf it looks like i just missed an email from like october so i think i am in now

thankssss

[undone ruin]

28% is UVA EA according to https://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2024/02/2024-uva-early-action-admission.html

*For in-state fyi

[mint beacon]

that's not the way it works

they have to account for yield

[stark canyon]

why is uva oos so expensive 💀

[vale halo]

why is every college oos so expensive

well most

[stark canyon]

why is college expensive in general

[oblique mountain]

is engi harder to get into than CS bc me and my engineering friends got in, but some LSA ppl didn't

[shell sonnet]

guess who just found out that their ex's little play thing (the girl i got cheated on with) got into UVA EA and wrote her essay about anime 😔

[raw holly]

:((

you should ruin her life imo

ur ex first tho

[oblique mountain]

app UVA is pretty mid to get into for instate public school kids

[shell sonnet]

already did that part 💕

[raw holly]

W

[shell sonnet]

and like i already decided on a school but uva was my dream school and her getting in and not even wanting to go is like salt in the wounds yk 😭

[raw holly]

😔

its ok

everything will work out in the end

college is just the beginning

[oblique mountain]

what major is she going for?

[shell sonnet]

UofR is still a great school tho

[shell sonnet]

homewrecking im p sure

AND SHE HAD ZERO EXTRA CURRICULARS 😭😭😭

[oblique mountain]

at least it doesn't pay well
you can just out earn her 😄

my dad went to UofR loved it, brother went to UVA and he loved that
both great schools

[shell sonnet]

😭😭 but on a real note ill figure out what she's trying to major in, ik she wants to go to W&M

[raw holly]

ooh are you committed to uroch

[raw holly]

😭

[shell sonnet]

nah, University of Richmond!!

[oblique mountain]

WM over UVA?

all my friends at WM depressed and they wanna leave

she can have fun there...

[shell sonnet]

yeah (but let her stay crazy)

yeah..

[raw holly]

ooh

i have heard good things about it fwiw

[shell sonnet]

im double majoring and double minoring so 💀

but they're all in the same department

already asked richmond too and they said it's doable 😎

[oblique mountain]

my parents actually met at UR

double major and minor is gonna be hell tho

[shell sonnet]

my aunt and uncle met at uva

[shell sonnet]

same dept i swear 😭😭

and they're all related

[oblique mountain]

then like why

[shell sonnet]

im double majoring in anthropology & art history

[oblique mountain]

like phys major getting a math minor is kinda superfluous for ex

[shell sonnet]

grad school and international connections

[oblique mountain]

everyone knows you can do math

but 4!?

[raw holly]

interesting

[shell sonnet]

and minoring in archaeology and french

[oblique mountain]

the double major is interesting af tho

[shell sonnet]

im actually super excited

[raw holly]

at cornell i can do a cs major + math major + ds minor with insane amounts of overlap

so its possible

ngl

especially if u get mroe freedom

[shell sonnet]

(if it all goes south im opening up a bakery anyways)

yeah, but imma be tight with humanities and social sciences and i want my doctorate in archaeology anyways

[oblique mountain]

I mean yeah that tracks, but idk
what's the benefit in getting the DS minor, won't most employers see a double CS and Math major and realize they can prob do DS too?

[shell sonnet]

so i can be a professor or museum curator

[oblique mountain]

is it applied math or straight math major btw

i hear straight math is hell

[sudden canopy]

math majors spening their life researching an extremely niche problem just to make zero progress and zero dollars

and then end up on a 3blue1brown video 30 years after they die

[final iron]

its about passion

math is fun

[sudden canopy]

💀 im passionate about sustaining my livelihood

[shell sonnet]

Math major is good

js do math+econ

[stone abyss]

Wise

[junior linden]

2.7 W GPA and 9 acceptances!?

[last plinth]

cause they dont want u to go smh

https://tenor.com/view/rat-shower-bath-soap-gif-16388990

[shell sonnet]

im

im

[final iron]

real

[summer crow]

i wouldn't be mad

unironically

i would not be mad if i died penniless and unknown

if it means i contributed something to the vast ocean of mathematics

🫡

millenia after i die my contributions to humanity's understanding of the world stands as my eternal gravestone

free fucking win

[sudden canopy]

suit yourself 🤷‍♂️

[summer crow]

but deadass it'd be an honor

me when i can finally not be a failure

[sudden canopy]

statistically your contribution will end up doing nothing for math

[summer crow]

https://tenor.com/bim3h.gif

that

is not true

what does that even mean

how can you predict if a discovery will or will not be used frequently

and even if it isn't used frequently it's still useful

[sudden canopy]

your research into a niche topic that ends up going nowhere is gonna end up like the thousands of mathematicians whose names arent even known now

[summer crow]

ok and

[sudden canopy]

think about how many tens of thousands of ancient mathematicians there are

out of them maybe a hundred are even slightly releveant

[summer crow]

and all of them lived and learned and contributed so that us, today, can learn and live and contribute

some never discovered something new and instead imparted knowledge to new revolutionaries

i might end up in a ditch in the side of a road leaving nothing but students

but if i can be a light for my students as an instructor or human

[sudden canopy]

nah most of them just made dinky wrong theorems that just got completely overridden by someones correct idea

[summer crow]

free win imo

ok and

i dont think there's anything wrong with that

unironically

valid attempt made

you can't deadass just say

"if you're not a genius don't go into the field"

if you say that gg human progress grinds to a halt free L

[sudden canopy]

im not saying that

[summer crow]

you need to throw people at it

if you fail to do something it's a message for other people

[sudden canopy]

im saying that people who come up with the right idea are the lucky ones 😭

[summer crow]

every single failure refines the topic

nothing is lost in the process imo

unless some motherfucker decided to not read a paper and create the exact same mistake

🫡 then it's just a skill gap imo

bro did not have access to springer

research institution funding gap

but ye idk

i think every last mathematician that died in the dark leaving maybe 6-7 students and 0 new discoveries still has value

those students go on to produce new things and teach new people

and someday they'll be an integral (heheheha) part of a novel contributor's education

[sudden canopy]

i do love math im just saying in the world of commercialism if im tryna survive i gotta do something not math

[summer crow]

i'm massively optimistic about the value of scholars ofc

🫡

ye

i'm just a bastard who wont let go of a dream even without talent or skill

lol

i'm probably wrong but it's w/e

[sudden canopy]

just research as a side project while you make a main job income

[summer crow]

die in a ditch in 30 years with 5 figures to my name angle

[sudden canopy]

and when it gets good then you can quit your job and research full time

[bold zodiac]

FELT

i had a friend

stole like

everythign he wanted to do from me

like his major he stole from me

he also stole his top school (gwu) from me

we both got in

except he lied on his fafsa

got a full ride

💀

(i did not)

[final iron]

there's no fafsa verification? TF

[bold zodiac]

there is but its still easy to cheese ngl

im pretty sure its like taxes in that

its really easy to make changes but if you are audited you are screwed

[shell sonnet]

we both deserve therapy after those situations 😭

but also? at least richmonds food is buss down 😤

[undone ruin]

Bro the fact of the matter is they take 7/400ish students that got waitlisted and chose to remain

[mint beacon]

not many students are admitted off the waitlist yes

respectfully, the point is they admit plenty of more students than they plan to enroll

[bold zodiac]

The commonapp unironically caused this 💀

Ngl sometimes i wonder if dean j has a burner account just watching this channel

Gotta have one 💀

[velvet minnow]

bro's been watching ready to mark people off the list

[last plinth]

😂

[paper loom]

[acoustic dune]

How did UVA EA go for yall

[devout flicker]

WL if u cant tell lol

[shell sonnet]

im an ED survivor

[devout flicker]

ohh ur right

[acoustic dune]

And stats if yall don’t mind

I’m a jr trying to assess ED UVA vs EA

[shell sonnet]

pookie go RD fr 😭

[last plinth]

I’d do ED

If you wanna go do ED

[shell sonnet]

5 DE classes (all A's)
rank: 5/161
gpa uw 4.0 w 4.4
2 APs (we only offer two APs)
NHS President, SCA vice president, Model UN president and founder, service learning I&II, DECA (state winner), i have two jobs (lifeguard and baker), worked on archaeology field digs for W&M, and FFA

[acoustic dune]

I wanna go a lot of places lmao

[last plinth]

Then do EA

[last plinth]

Nerd

NERRRD

[shell sonnet]

also TA for 2 years learning history

[acoustic dune]

Trying to see if I’m qualified for EA

But apparebtly not

[last plinth]

what do you mean qualified

💀

[shell sonnet]

gurl and they waitlisted me.

[acoustic dune]

After the atrocity I just read

[acoustic dune]

There’s no way

[last plinth]

I got waitlisted too

With a 3.7 uw

😎

[broken flicker]

are you in state or out of state?

[acoustic dune]

OOS

[shell sonnet]

ain't no one qualified, unless you're fish stick girl and wrote about anime!

[uneven carbon]

i got rejected ed lmao

tbf i half assed the supp

[acoustic dune]

My school got 3 kids in ED and 3 more EA

[last plinth]

My supp was good

[shell sonnet]

bruh

[last plinth]

My ECS are good

My grades are mid

And they can’t see my grades rn and I skipped junior year I fucked myself by not doing rd

[broken flicker]

in that case, if youre so keen on uva, what i would do in your shoes is to calculate the cost of attendance on their net price calculator and see if the cost seems attractive enough and go from there while comparins other options

[shell sonnet]

i have family that went to uva that loved it sm that they made me want to go and they didn't even care 😭

[last plinth]

I would’ve got in RD ik it

[shell sonnet]

me too.

i get it

but university of richmond is calling my name!!

go spiders (pls give me aid.)

[last plinth]

Ima just go to VT or take a gap year

🤷‍♂️

Or maybe I’ll go to uva wise 😂

[shell sonnet]

nuh uh

[last plinth]

Then transfer

[uneven carbon]

tbh i was lowk happy when i got rejected

[shell sonnet]

my manager goes there and hates it

[uneven carbon]

i really did not want to go to uva

[last plinth]

You can transfer to uva

After freshman year

[shell sonnet]

no she just goes there bc it's cheap and says UVA 😭

[last plinth]

Lol

I got the offer to transfer

[shell sonnet]

me too

then i was like.. 'im no schools sloppy seconds'

[last plinth]

I wouldn’t go over tech tho

Rather do VT

[shell sonnet]

yeah

im actually excited to go to Richmond i already found a roommate and they have free cooking lessons every week which sounds dumb but there's sm to do 😭

[last plinth]

Nah that’s not dumb that’s dope

Cooking is fun

[shell sonnet]

look at their self care spider night 😭😭

[last plinth]

😂

[shell sonnet]

agreed 😌

only 2 people got into UVA at my school (neither of them have great grades or any EC's)...

like zero

zilch

nada

i think it's a crapshoot

[acoustic dune]

Test scores maybe?

[shell sonnet]

test optional

so i am genuinely baffled 😭

[shell sonnet]

what do you want to major in if you know?

[last plinth]

Same

Our robotics captain got in which is cool but idk what he does except robotics 😂

[acoustic dune]

Commerce at mcintire

[last plinth]

Fairly certain robotics is all

[shell sonnet]

MINE AT MY SCHOOL DID NOTHINGGG

[last plinth]

And our robotics team is shit bro

😂

[shell sonnet]

oh pookie if you're into that apply to UofR it's fantastic!!

especially for that

[last plinth]

I should’ve done U of R

[shell sonnet]

like it's one of the best business schools im p sure

[shell sonnet]

transfer so you can get that good good food 😌

[last plinth]

But I won’t feeling a BA

I’ve still got a shot @ CMU so 🙏

I fit them so well

[shell sonnet]

as u should

honestly surprised i got WL at UVA i got into like 2 or 3 with lower acceptance rates 😭

[last plinth]

Where you get in so far?

[shell sonnet]

apparently my family bought my UVA merch and was going to surprise me but secretly sent it back...

hol up i have a spreadsheet

[last plinth]

😂

My family don’t care ab college

No one’s ever went so no one rlly cares

My dad thought MIT was like ECPI 💀

But they know Caltech cause the Big Bang theory lol

[shell sonnet]

mine didn't either they just know that im crazy and wanted to get into uva 😭

richmond, dublin, and st andrews accepted me

[last plinth]

Damn

Good shit

Why you apply to VCU

[shell sonnet]

fee waiver?¿

[last plinth]

I didn’t do any safeties except VT

[shell sonnet]

also it's good for archaeology

[last plinth]

Which I now hear isn’t a safety xD

[shell sonnet]

also i had a fear of getting rejected from like everywhere 😭

the only straight up rejection has been UNC

[last plinth]

M I got into UVA wise so we chilling that’s my safety

I got rejected UIUC

But 4.46% acceptance so yk it’s fine

[shell sonnet]

everyone else has been acceptance accept for UVA and UNC

and W&M

(we don't know yet abt them tho)

[last plinth]

🙏

What major?

[shell sonnet]

double in anthropology and art history with minors in archaeology and french

planning on going back for masters and doctorate to do museum curating and professor and international work

potentially environmental law as well

and conservation

idk i wanna do a lot

[last plinth]

A PhD oh hell nah

[shell sonnet]

🤭

my autism leads me to believe i could give a dissertation on it rn.

[last plinth]

I was gonna do a physics PhD then came to the conclusion I’d be broke for the rest of my life

I’d be creating generational debt

😂

[shell sonnet]

LMAO

my thing is. i could make bank if i taught at a graduate level

[last plinth]

My kids would be inheriting my student loans ong

That’s all they’d get from me 💀

[shell sonnet]

or even curating and museum research

LMAOO STOP

richmond is obv giving me that discounted price tag so💀

and vcu gave me full tuition so 😔

and rmc

[last plinth]

Damn that’s awesome

Yeah RMC gives a lot of emm out

My friends all got full rides there

[shell sonnet]

someone w a 2.1 at my school got 31k/y 😭😭

[last plinth]

Yeah 😂

[shell sonnet]

i do my lifeguard training classes there, their pool is sick tho fr.

(it's heated and it's nice when it's cold outside 😭)

[last plinth]

I assume it’s for their swim team?

Or do schools just have pools anyone can use 😂

If so that’s quite odd ngl

[velvet minnow]

uva was my safety and i stand by that statement

[last plinth]

Nah that’s fair for u

Everyone in ur family went

If they rejected you they’d be stupid lol

Plus ur stats and ECS are good

[velvet minnow]

I feel like VT would yield protect me

[last plinth]

Prolly lmfao

[velvet minnow]

my ego cannot take that after an MIT deferral

[shell sonnet]

we have like a thing we do to rent it or something, idk they have a partnership with the theme park i work at

[last plinth]

The CMU deferral boosted my ego lowkey

I was happy ab that

💀

[shell sonnet]

also ur pfp is cute is it like actually ur dog

[last plinth]

Cause ppl with like 1500s got rejected

[last plinth]

Ty and yes

[shell sonnet]

do you have a pittie or a staffie

[last plinth]

It’s an American bully so I think it’s considered a pit bull idrk 😂

[shell sonnet]

i have a staffie hol up

[last plinth]

They're cute, the seal picture seems about right lol

[devout flicker]

ong EA was a bloodbath

[velvet minnow]

I mean I think if you're going to get in RD you'd get in EA/ED

unless you're planning on some kind of significant improvement in December/January

[devout flicker]

i think rd wouldve helped me personally just bc im applying to COE and i got an A in ap calc sem 1 and they didnt see that

[velvet minnow]

The difference between EA/ED deadlines and RD are only two-ish months, so unless you're going to like take the December SAT/January SAT or maybe you ahve some big research project coming up

COE?

[devout flicker]

Engineering

[velvet minnow]

oh SEAS

School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

[still crown]

Wait does uva

[devout flicker]

Oops yeah

[still crown]

Send out acceptance package

[velvet minnow]

mmmm

idk I haven't gotten anything

[devout flicker]

ive heard of shoelaces lol

[velvet minnow]

shoelaces?

[devout flicker]

jhu people get a bluetooth speaker ik that lol

yes someone said that earlier in chat

[velvet minnow]

wtf

just like

white shoelaces

or

[devout flicker]

probably uva branded?

[velvet minnow]

why wouldn't they give you like

a uva flag or su

m

[devout flicker]

dunno lol

[uneven carbon]

no

it had like uva colors and shit

it was lowkey p cool

[turbid garnet]

after everything

i forgive you for waitlisting me UVA

[fringe shard]

Is waitlisting basically rejected

[devout flicker]

bro is in the acceptance stage 😭

[devout flicker]

hard to tell tbh bc the amt of ppl they let in every yesr from wl varies sm

[turbid garnet]

yep lmao

[turbid garnet]
